Do you have contact info for motels close to track? You may have already posted info???
I have never been there and haven't a clue what motels to contact.

Thanks for you good work...this will be an historical event for doorslammers.

Re: Class Nationals event planning
 

Can you believe it's been almost 9 months since we started event planning? Time has flown by, and we are only another 9 months away from opening the gates for the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals. Thank you so much to each and every sponsor, racer, fan, and staff member for your tremendous support in bringing this event to life.

We'll be doing the first print run of flyers within the next couple of weeks. If you own or are associated with a company that would like to be involved in the event, contact me at staginglight@gmail.com. We can tailor a marketing package to fit any budget, large or small.

If people would like to support a particular class in Class Eliminations, like McCarthy & Bell are doing with U/SA, or DanSources and RCE are with the Pure Stock classes, we're more than happy to advertise it on the flyer and pass on awards directly to the racers -- no admin fees.

There's always specialty awards as well, i.e., #1 Qualifier, Best Wheelstand, Hard Luck Award, 'Best Losing Package' round prizes, door prizes for the Racer Appreciation Party... plenty of opportunities for individuals or smaller-budget sponsors.

We will continue to work on sponsors all year long, and update the online flyer as we go, and we'll do additional print runs of flyers down the road, but if you want to make the first print run, now's the time!

Dean Oliver of Deano's Carburetors will be posting $100 contingency for the highest qualified Deano's customer in both Stock and Super Stock. Make it a #1 Qualifier, and the prize doubles to $200! New style decal required (as pictured). Call Deano's for your carburetor needs, at 870-830-5470.

Re: Class Nationals event planning
 

I'm considering gathering up all my pennies and going to the Class Nationals in Ohio next May. I figure I need to start working on some other SS/K guys so we can have our version of a shootout. Here are the names i thought of so far. I think all of these cars could get into K. If not let me know. If you know of someone I forgot please let me know. I have no chance but it would be fun.

Tim Nicholson
Robin Brown
Gene Bichlmeier
Wayne Denklau
Scott Gray
David Smith
Larry Wilson
Roger Rosebush
Greg Smith ( I had heard he was coming back)
Myself
Bill Zaskowski ( Currently running a 327)
Tony Fillipone ( He has a 283)
Dan Schliecker (Sp? Sorry Dan)
James Hill
Kip Martin
Bobby Fazio
Matt Steen

Maybe get Liberty, Jerico, GForce, McLeod, etc to sponsor it.

Re: Class Nationals event planning
 

Great ideas. I appreciate the enthusiam, and everyone working together. If you have contacts for specific companies, you can PM them to me or e-mail staginglight@gmail.com We've been working hard on the sponsorship front. We have several companies expressing a definite interest that just can't release details at this time due to their budget cycles, but you can expect more announcements even after the new year! We'll keep building to make the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals the can't-miss event of the 2014 season.

I'm on the road right now, putting the Volare back together in NC, so I don't have access to all my schtuff, but expect a major announcement later this week!

Re: Class Nationals event planning
 

I don't know if I had posted this before and I know this isn't much, but I'm giving away a free subscription (Nitro Joe's Drag Racing Stats) to the SS & Stock overall winners.
